Nice property. Comes as advertised. Enjoyed my stay and would stay again for sure.
We stayed for 30 days and enjoyed everything about the property. It was well equipped and the property managers are really responsive.The location is great--about a 10 minute walk to the beach. I would definitely stay here again.
We cant recommend this home and location enough, we will be back!
Road paving for the full month was not great
Donald and his family, our hosts and owners of the villa, made our stay feel like visiting family. The villa was calm, very clean, well-organized, and well-stocked with basic necessary items, so there was no need to rush out on the first day. The beds, pillows, and linens were new and of very good quality. The villa was wonderfully decorated. They also had items to borrow for the lagoon for the kids: beach toys, towels, a beach wagon, boogie boards, fins, coolers, etc, which was very helpful to have on hand. Neighbors are friendly. The management company, Mike and Garrett, were very helpful and responded quickly to our questions. We travel a lot and have stayed in many long-term rentals. This is the first time we did not have a list of items about the rental that needed to be fixed during our stay.
We enjoyed the amenities at Ko Olina Kia community. The kids loved the community pool, and the adults loved the hot tub and cabanas for grilling. We signed up to play golf, paddle board, take exercise classes, and use the weights and treadmills at the gym. It was all fun and helped us decompress from work. The short walks to restaurants, lagoons, shopping, day spas, and entertainment were also very enjoyable. Within a 10-15 min. drive, there is a Walmart, Target, Safeway, and other stores just like any major U.S. town. We love Oahu, the community, and sites like Waimea Valley, the Hawaiian Railway, the Hawai’i Symphony Orchestra, churches, North Shore Eco Tours, etc. Mahalo, - NW
The property is gated and top of the line cared for. Its within walking distance to food, groceries, ocean and lagoons.
Condo had everything we needed including lots of beach toys. Including chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, snorkeling sets, cooler, towels and more.
Comfy and cozy. I would definitely stay here again.
This was our 3rd time staying at this property. We love the location and it is a great size for families. They changed the flooring from carpet to vinyl tile and it looks better than before but it is noisier. Running a fan in the bedrooms helps with white noise. The only other issue we had was that guests were booked to arrive the day we checked out so the cleaners don’t have enough time to wash everything and we were asked to wash everything before leaving. We needed to use most of the sheets and towels until the morning of our departure and could not finish it all. I washed and dried all the beach towels and put them away and wash the downstairs sheets and towels and had them in the dryer and the upstairs sheets in the washer. There was one more load of towels for them to do. The departure guidelines only asked us to throw the first load of sheets in and start the machine and we paid a fee for the cleaners to do the rest. I didn’t mind doing extra loads but we got a message that implied the cleaners weren’t happy that it wasn’t all done. I’m not sure why they thought we could do it all before 10 am when they had until 4 pm to finish it. I would suggest that that this property leave a day between guests or have enough sheets, towels and white rugs to swap them out then send them to a laundry service to wash in as much time as it takes. This is one of our favorite Vrbo’s and we would stay here again.
The property and location are top notch!
The Villa was well stocked with everything we needed. The home and rooms were very clean. Everyone in the group agreed ‘the best mattresses ever!’
The location is very SAFE! And within walking distant to so many activities, shops, eateries, the pool and the lagoons. I highly recommend this property.
Darren, the property manager always responded quickly and answered any questions we had.
First off, this is a lovely home. It's within walking distance of the beach, ABC store and restaurants. Its a comfortable home and was well stocked with just about everything you need. For the price, it should have been perfect.There were a few things not quite right. The master bath sink and the hallway bath tub were clogged. We notified the property manager of the sink and he told us he would get it fixed after our stay unless it reallly bothered us. We didn't think a plumber was necessary so we bought a drain snake and unclogged both. They were full of hair. The toilet in the hallway bath was very dirty. And if you like to sit outside, the two air conditioners by the patio are quite noisy. We sat out anyway and endured the noise. A list of other complaints has or will be sent to the owner. Other than the air conditioners, this is located in a quiet neighborhood. The neighbors and other residents are friendly. The pool is also very nice. We truly enjoyed our stay.
I love this home and I love Ko’Olina. This is my second time in this home. I love it here. The new upgrades are beautiful. It’s the perfect location, the neighbors are amazing 🥰. We love hanging out with them. I’m still in a depression over having to come back home to California 😢. If we have guests or family coming with us next year, we will be sure to book this beautiful home again. I can’t say anything negative because I just can’t think of anything. I definitely left my heart ❤️ here, yet again. Thank you for sharing your home with us, Donald.
